Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 162,243 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 162,243 is 81.
Lets's calculate LCM of 446,356
2 | 446, 356 |
223, 178 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 223 x 178 = 79388
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 81/79388
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 162/446,243/356 is 81/79388
The formula of LCM is LCM(a1,a2,a3....,an) = ( a1 × a2 × a3 × .... × an) / GCF(a1,a2,a3....,an) x common factors(if more than 2 numbers have common factors).
We need to calculate greatest common factor of 446,356 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(446,356) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(446,356) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(446,356) = ( 446 × 356 ) / 2
LCM(446,356) = 158776 / 2
LCM(446,356) = 79388
